People,

Firstly, congratulations on some nice work! - I could not get
inter-guest or host-guest networking on FC5 but it started working
immediately on FC6 - thanks!

On a FC6 host I have created a FC6 guest minimal install (everything
checked off except for text networking) in a 1.5GB image file.  What is
the format of this image?  Is it possible to somehow use a loopback
switch to mount it like iso9660? - I want to be able to make a copy of
the image file; in the image, edit the /etc/sysconfig/network
and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 files; add an
appropriate /etc/xen config file and then be able to boot a second
guest.  Is this possible somehow?

Thanks,

Phil.
